Additional Safety Instructions for Sanders
7. SANDING DIRECTION. NEVER sand
tapered or pointed stock with the point fac
-
ing the feed direction.
8. EXCESSIVE FORCE. DO NOT attempt
to sand faster by applying extra pressure
.
Doing so greatly increases the chance of
personal injury, mechanical damage, or
damage to your workpiece.
9. SANDING TECHNIQUE. DO NOT jam the
workpiece against the sanding belt. Firmly
grasp the workpiece in both hands and
ease it against the sanding belt with light
pressure.
10. SANDING FRAGILE WORKPIECES.
DO NOT sand a workpiece if you doubt
its stability or integrity. Inspect all materi
-
als carefully for loose knots, cracks, and
foreign objects like nails and staples.
11. GOOD HABITS. Develop good habits in
your shop and safety will become second-
nature to you. Habits – good and bad – are
hard to break.
1. POWER DISCONNECT. Do all inspec-
tions, adjustments, and maintenance with
the machine unplugged. Wait for all moving
parts to come to a complete stop.
2. INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE.
Check the machine for worn or damaged
parts before each use. Replace worn parts
and clean your machine regularly.
3. SANDING BELTS. DO NOT operate the
sander if the sanding belt is damaged or
badly worn. Pieces of sandpaper could be
ejected from the sander, causing injury.
4. DUST COLLECTION. Never operate the
sander without an adequate dust collection
system in place and running.
5. TEST RUN. Turn the machine ON, check
the tracking, feel for unusual vibrations,
and listen for abnormal noises, before
working on a workpiece.
6. HAND PLACEMENT. DO NOT place
hands near, or in contact with, sanding belt
during operation.
